Hello dauntless capsuleers! This is CCP Fozzie bringing you another dev blog about the big sovereignty capture changes coming on July 14th. Here in CCP’s Reykjavik offices we’re hard at work tweaking and polishing the new system for release, and we can’t wait to roll it out for all of you soon.

“Can I bring my Drake” they used to say… Well, maybe someday, in a not-so-distant future, they will ask again. And the leaders and great commanders of New Eden may actually answer yes. Aegis promises to deliver some of the biggest changes to New Eden in some time with the new sovereignty system on July 14th, but we want to make sure no details get overlooked so in this blog I’m going to quickly go over all the ship and module changes we have coming for you in the first part of Aegis on July 7th...

New Customer Support Help Center. Greetings honorable Capsuleers, As some of you may already have noticed, we have been running our Technical Support through a beta version of a new Help Center since October last year.

Hi Internet Space People, We announced on The o7 Show we are planning to make some changes to the way fleets work. Since then we’ve had lots of amazing player feedback, and based on that feedback we’re making some tweaks.

Hello capsuleers, CCP Jörg here with a quick update from the EVE Online art department! Things are slowly getting back to normal after our V5++ shader efforts.

If you missed it, you cna take a look at this dev blog for more information on the V5++ project. Once we got some breathing room to start on other...

Carnyx recently brought with it some big changes to familiar icons. Players logged in and suddenly found all the things around them were the same… but different. The bracket icons for everything in space and on their overviews had all suddenly changed.

Greeting Capsuleers, CCP Affinity and CCP RedDawn from Team Space Glitter to give you a little more detail on the past, present and future of those mysterious space entities, the Drifters. With the Carnyx release, the previously inaccessible Unidentified Wormholes popping up over New Eden opened, allowing you to traverse them for the first time. These wormholes only appear in systems that contain the ominous Jove Observatories, which the Drifters and Seekers have been guarding in a rather aggre...

Dearest space faring artisans, After a lively debate, the CS team has finished their final voting and selected our favourite art to be displayed on the office wall in Reykjavik. On behalf of the CS team here in Reykjavik, I want to thank each and every artist who took the time to share their work with us. We were simply blown away by the talent and creativity displayed by our players during this contest. While there could be only two winners for the large canvas display, there were so many grea...

Hello capsuleers, CCP FoxFour here on behalf of Team Size Matters to show you some of the stuff we have coming for ship SKINs this summer.

As Alliance Tournament XIII draws closer, it’s time for prospective teams to express their interest in honorable spaceship combat.
